** ALASKA. 9580, April 27 at 1421, VP S4-S5 rock music, presumed KNLS as now scheduled for English this hour on what will always be for us the #1 Radio Australia frequency before it self-destructed. Recall that right after that, as I suggested, WRMI registered 9580 at 0900-2100, thus ``reserving`` it but never implemented, much less an RA/ABC relay whether the Aussies liked it or not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 13739.240, April 27 at 1342, RHC knocked itself off-frequency again, VG. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 11660, April 27 at 0243, YL talking, eventually recognized as Spanish on fluttery S9/+10 signal; S Asian music, 0247 mixed with sounders uttering times and SW frequencies of several VRII SS broadcasts, and some on satellite, off at 0250:34*. This one is three hours long from 2350, 500 kW, 328 degrees from Sirjan for parts of CIRAFs 7, 10 and 11, i.e. crossing N America from the tip of Greenland to New Orleans, close to Mexico City. A mostly night path starting to propagate summerlish. HFCC shows Spanish also on 7230 at 2350-0120, and 9550 at 0020-0320: strange, offset times. Also has Spanish to Spain mornings and evenings (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 9830, April 26 at 2220 check, VOT English is on today, fair. And so is erroneous German at 2313 check, still only fair (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1979 monitoring: confirmed first American SW broadcast, Friday April 26 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, good, not upcut at start, but final number ``1979`` overlapped by fill music. Also confirmed UT Saturday April 27 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, fair.

** U S A. 7490.17v, UT Sat April 27 at 0004, WBCQ, Allan Weiner from Deland of Fla opening what he has just renamed from today, ``Allan And Angela Worldwide`` in honour of his co-host wife (who rarely says much), and tells Larry Will to change it on the website: not yet; so now it`s AAAWW. Soon says the 500 kW Superstation is getting close to on-air testing (like it was two weeks ago). AAAWW also on 9330+v instead of TOMBS; something else on 5130+v; and no signal a tall on 3265-v. Have not heard yet from John Carver for the rest of the story this week (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9475 & 5830, April 26 at 2331, neither WTWW-1 frequency is on the air (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9265V, UT Sat April 27 at 0240, beepery from Kim`s `Shortwave Radiogram` via WINB, and yes, this transmitter is still wobbling. I wonder if that degrade SWRG decode? Maybe not if BFO not engaged (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11610, April 27 at 0245, call-in about Luther on the Catholic Radio Network, S9/+20. Did he repent on deathbed? It`s WEWN`s new English frequency overnight I had not noticed before, since ex-11520 was easily overlooked. This one fades to JBA carrier by 0252.
EWTN website still shows B-18 sked of 11520, et al.! : http://ewtn.org/radio/freq.htm
So check HFCC A-19 registrations, which may be excessive beyond usage:
English 00-09 11610, 09-13 9470, 19-24 15610
Spanish 00-14 5970, 14-24 12050
BTW, CNR westward from Beijing is also on 11610 at 23-13. Not ``Bejing`` as WEWN spells its 335-degree target on 9470 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
